Matthew Meagher interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW


When did your love of books begin?

I was an 5th grade teacher for seven years. I started to love archetypal jounries and teaching them in Young Adult literature.



When did you start to have the wish to become an author?

In fifth grade, under my “Look for me in the future,” I wrote I wanted to be writer to take care of my sick parents. My praents aren’t sick(thankfully), but I am a professional writer.



How have you found the process for becoming an author?

It’s mostly trial by error. And you have to create a platform that is unique to not just you but your followers as well.



What would you say to those wanting to become an author?

It’s a dream. If it was easy, everyone would do it. Get it done. Get help. Get your idea perfected. And you will accomplish your goals.



Tell us about your book/books:

I am the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award winner for my novel, “Irish Town’.” SYNOPSIS: “Irish Town” is set in the town of Ashton high in the Rocky Mountains. Ashton has seen its struggles and faces many challenges particularly from its wealthy and powerful rival, Cherry Ridge located across Powder Valley. The novel’s protagonist, and first-person narrator, Jeremiah Connelly, tells us the story of his high school peers who hope to save Ashton from becoming a modern-day ghost town. The story deals with social issues, family problems, environmental challenges, and much more. The novel concludes with a high-stakes competition between the two towns. Readers have enjoyed “Irish Town.” One saying, “This book is phenomenal. Very well written. Many characters that will blow your mind. You'll love it.” Another said, “Irish Town engages the reader with a compelling setting and thought-provoking conflicts. The ideal book for independent-minded young adults looking for a cool plot and complex, relatable character.



What do you love about the writing/reading community?

I love the positivity. Writing is a lonely, can be negative world, and having support from any avenue is important.



If you could say anything to your readers what would it be?

“Never let those who haven’t tell you you can’t.”-Baron R. Birtcher

Claude Bouchard interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW A little introduction: I’m Claude Bouchard, born, raised, and still living in the Montreal (Canada) area. In a prior life, I worked in the corporate world, mainly in human resources management. In 2008, my employer moved our jobs to India and, while I pursued other employment, I published three books I had written long before then continued to write and publish more. Along the way, I realized I had a new job, that of author, and never looked back.  When did your love of books begin? While in kindergarten, my parents had signed me up for a book of the month thing and I remember the excitement whenever a new book showed up in the mail. I moved on to the Bobbsey Twins, Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, etc. and have never stopped reading since.  When did you start to have the wish to become an author? In 1995, I had an idea for a book and wrote  Vigilante  in eight weeks. I followed up with two others in the same series over the next year or two, even did some agent querying but eve
